TS1702 Waiting on apps

I have downloaded three apps from the app store. On my iPhone screen the icons for those apps say "waiting". The apps will not open. What am I waiting for? How long must I wait?

Have you tried deleting the apps in question? Tap and hold until they wiggle, then tap the X to delete. Next try re-downloading them, one at a time.

Message: "Waiting for App Store to download Mac OS X Server Add on"

Trying to install 10.7 (from 10.6.8) on Mac Mini server 4,1. I don't use it as a server, and don't know anything about that.I get a message "Waiting for App Store to download Mac OS X Server Add on" check download at App store. There is none. Help?
Mac Mini Server 4.1/2.66 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo/8 GB Memory

Ran into this myself on a new MacMini Server. I renamed the ServerVersion.plist file in /System/Library/CoreServices/. That allowed the install to start. Unfortunately it seems the installer is setup to install that at the same time. I renamed the file back before the restart and it complained on restart that the server install wasn't found.
So I thought I would try downloading it on another computer with Lion. That didn't work either. As soon as it finished download it installed and deleted the installer.
What a pain.
If you can start from scratch, you should be able to rename the file, do the Lion install then after the Lion install rename it back. Then do the server install. I'm not sure what that will do to existing server configs though. There must be some reason Apple set up the Lion installer this way.
Oh, now I can't reboot into my existing OS. It keeps rebooting into the installer. Tried the option key and both options are named something like base os. Neither boots my existing Snow Leopard. Gonna have to get an external DVD drive and install from scratch I think. Luckily this is a new server not in production, so not a big deal. I hope people with production machines read the boards and tread carefully.

What is meant by waiting for app store to download mac os x server add on.

Can't get past that step to upgrade xserver from 10.6.8 to 10.7. I am trying to upgrade my xserver 10.6.8 to 10.7. I have purchased the os x lion and the lion server, and they are both downloaded on the machine, but it will not let me get past the step of waiting for app store to download mac os x server add on. Anyone know what that is or where I can get it? App store never starts a download. tia

Waiting for App Store to download Mac OS X Server Add On.

Hi there,
I am trying to upgrade Mac OS X Server to Mac Lion Server. I get this message when i try to install the OS X Lion
Waiting for App Store to download Mac OS X Server Add On.
Please help.

the message is normal, you are requested to wait!
check that, when "install" is pressed in App Store a new icon should go to your dock (the "install MacOSX lion" application itself).
the upgrade is up to 4Gb and apple serves at no more than 200-400Kbps (at least to my country), so be patient.
If you need more patience, but JUST NOOOOOWWW!!! =)
then you can see your network activity in Utilities -> Activity Monitor -> Network
Let us know if there is no Activity during the download!
And also if you successfully install lion!

TS1702 All my apps show waiting?? Anyone know a fix?

I updated my iPad and now all the apps show "waiting". Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks

Here are a number of things that you can try.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
Or ....Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

TS1702 Any new app keeps stating Waiting, cannot load new or update?

Cannot download apps, stalls in WAITING. Tried rebooting, deleating etc.... Can anyone help?

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

TS1702 Garage Band App is in "waiting" stage. Will not download onto iPhone 4 with updated software (5.1.1) using iTunes with most recent update.

A friend gifted me the garage band application for my iPhone 4. I have updated the phones software (5.1.1) as well as the software for iTunes. However thee app has been stuck on "waiting" for days now.

I'm running iTunes 10.6.3.
Macintosh has never allowed the user to update and or utilize any app or feature if the Operating System was inadequate to do so. Your answer "iOS 6 requires 10.6.8 to run iTunes 10.7" is ineffective at this point and mute. The update should not have been aloud over Wifi or 3G Network to iPhone without the ability to authenticate resources required or needed to operate both iPhnoe iOS and Desktop OS together.
The issue, as has already been explained is that the version of iTunes on the computer will not work with iOS6.
iOS updates via Wi-Fi have nothing to do with iTunes on the computer and does not care what version is on the computer. Personally, I find it completely moronic to update via Wi-Fi as there is really no option for backup or a restore from backup if the update fails. To me, it seems like a great way for the user to create issues for themselves that do not need to exist.
As there is no officially supported method to downgrade the iOS, the only option left if syncing is desired is to upgrade iTunes on the computer.
I really do not understand why you seem so defensive about updating iTunes. Update iTunes on the computer, then sync the device, if that's what you want.
If that's not what you want, other options include updating apps directly on the device via Wi-Fi or 3G or living with it as is.

TS1702 Updates in App Store is not showing the Apps list

After updating iOS to 6.1 in my iPhone 4s, while tapping 'Updates' in App Store, it is not showing the Apps list, though over the icon it is showing that 11 Apps has got Updates available.

hi
i've had your same proble,
you have to go on settings-->itunes&app stores-->apple ID and sign out.
after this restart your device:
Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home buttonat the bottom center of the face at the same time.
Hold them both until you see the screen go black. In some cases, you may need to keep holding them even after the red power off slider appears. If it does, just keep holding it.
Wait until the white Apple logo appears.
ok, now go to settings-->itunes&app stores-->apple ID and sign in again
... for me it worked
bye bye let me know if it works even for you!

Automator doesn't wait for app to finish launching.

During "watch me do" actions that lauch an app Automator does not wait for the app to launch. This seems like a bug since Automator does infact know it is launching an app, this shouldn't be something that should require a sleep every time.

Did you try one these actions?

TS1702 Apple update App not working.

You know the area in the App Store where you update your apps, it's not working. It's shows the # of apps to be updated, but it does have the apps in the update window, it's just blank. So I'm not able to update my apps. I've turned my phone off and on several times.

Lots of ppl here having that problem - every time I've had the problem I just wait a while it always seems to be on Apple's side.
You can always download the updates in iTunes then do a sync.

TS1702 Has 2 app update but is not responding

Has 2 app update but is not responding which click.

If you are seeing a blank page in the Updates Tab of the App Store it is a problem that many other users are reporting as well. It is a problem that has to be fixed by Apple. You will just have to wait until they fix it.

TS1702 My calendar app is stuck. I cannot complete an entry or cancel it. It is the calendar that comes with the iPhone. Any suggestions on what I can do to unstick it?

My Iphone calendar is stuck. I went to add an entry and it is stuck in time area. I cannot add by clicking DONE and cannot CANCEL to close the entry. How can I unstick it so I can continue to add entries and check previously entered info? Been stuck for 2 days.

Reboot your phone. You will not lose any data.
Hold both Home and Power button together for some 15 seconds until the white Apple appears. Ignore the red slider than appears first and wait for the white Apple logo. Then let go and wait for the iPhone to reboot and restart.
Your calendar app should be OK then.
